[hider=Li Valkyrie WIP][i]Name:[/i] Li Valkyrie
[i]Age:[/i] (To be considered when I’m not tired)
[i]Gender:[/i] Male
[i]Appearance:[/i] (Image found, and description to be written to go alongside it soon)
[i]Parents:[/i] Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie 
[i]Personality:[/i] Brave and gregarious, Li is quick to make friends and quicker to leap to their defense. He feels it is his duty to defend those around him, and is often willing to take risks or pain himself to avoid it being inflicted on those he cares about. Li is also quick with his tongue and often can be found making jokes, or light hearted barbs at his comrades. However Li overexerts himself and sometimes the stress can get to him, the numerous ways can and has failed biting at him. Despite this however he is often on the front line, laughing and smiling as he protects and inspires his allies.
[i]Bio:[/i] Li’s life has been easy, but not peaceful. When victory was had over Salem many of the triumphant heroes parted ways to go about their lives, promising to meet again. Most of those promises have been impossible to keep. Nora and Ren were visiting Mistral again, to pay final respects and to enjoy themselves. They married. However before long the Grimm mutated, became far worse, far more powerful, and even less controlled. Ren and Nora soon found themselves the only guardians of a handful of small towns nestled near one another. At first times were rough, and several of the small towns were lost, destroyed and overran. However despite the odds the two huntsmen hung on, and with the aid of the townsfolk new strategies and tactics were developed to protect their domain.
While the grimm were still a threat, while the grimm would always be a threat, things eased and became controllable. Ren and Nora became the de facto leaders of this small collection of villages. Contact with greater Mistral was lost early on, and the small collection of towns grew isolated, an island of relative peace in the darkness. Li was the first child born of Lie and Nora, but many followed him. The eldest of twelve siblings Li was always the one in charge of watching over his younger siblings, entertaining them and ensuring they didn’t wander too far. He was also the first to learn the ways of combat from his parents among his siblings.
As he grew older Li became curious of the world outside the villages. Was there still anything out there? Of course the rare wanderer made it to the safe haven and shared rumors of the world beyond, but they were few in number. Li told his parents how he felt, and while they had obvious concern they accepted the way he felt and aided him in preparations to depart. He was well trained, and after the preparations well supplied. Of course, if he came home in anything less than one piece his mother threatened to break his legs but Li took that in the spirit in which it was meant and left his home in search of what else was out there.
Semblance:
[i]Weapon:[/i] Li’s weapon of choice is Forsvarer, a weapon he built under the guidance of his parents and the smith of the villages. It is a lightweight pike, standing only a few inches taller than he is, with a broad bladed tip. The weapon is made of metal, bearing a green hue not unlike Ren’s StormFlower. Built into the weapon is a fairly powerful precision rifle. The barrel of the rifle ends at the but of the pike, and the weapon can be fired to add extra momentum to strikes or to maneuver if used properly. Li’s combat style with the weapon is fast paced and deliberate, where he engages, makes several blows and feints, stikes a decisive blow, then retreats. When on the defensive he has similar tactics, looking for a moment where his enemy is distracted before he pierces at an exposed weakness before twisting around and falling back to await the enemies next attack. Li is also a decent shot, however he hasn’t trained as much in that field. He also uses his weapon only as a pike, or a rifle, and has yet to use the entire weapon at the same time at this point.
[i]Fears:[/i] Losing his family, failing to protect those near him, not doing his father and mother proud, pigs.

I have added a weapon and some fears. I still need to write up a physical description to go alongside the image graciously provided to me by 13, and do some formatting to make it look a spot prettier, and figure out his semblance. But still, progress. If anyone has any thoughts I beg that they be shared I am interested in what people think. Also if anyone has any ideas on what would be a good semblance for this guy, ideas are always useful to review and consider.
